Product Overview:

Melanotan I is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), studied for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis via activation of melanocortin 1 receptors (MC1R) in skin cells. It has been investigated in research for its potential to promote UV-induced melanin production, offering protective pigmentation without sun exposure.

Unlike Melanotan II, Melanotan I is more selective for pigment-related pathways and is not associated with appetite or libido-related effects in existing models. It has been explored for use in photoprotection research and rare pigmentation disorders such as erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP).

Applications in Research:

• Studies on UV protection and melanin production

• Research into melanocortin receptor signaling

• Investigations involving photodermatoses and pigmentation disorders

• Experimental models of skin response to UV exposure

Storage & Handling:

Store lyophilized peptide at -20°C in a sealed, light-protected container.
Reconstitute using bacteriostatic water in sterile lab settings. Store reconstituted product refrigerated and use within standard stability timelines. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
